My cousin made Sunday Dinner for the family over Easter and, as is common occurrence in my family, we had an egregious amount of excess food. So we split up the leftovers and took them home with.
Anyway, I fished some of the Lamb out the freezer yesterday and made a couple of batches of Lamb Pastries.

Recipe

120g Leftover Leg of Lamb
1tbsp Dried Mixed Herbs
1/2tsp Mixed Salt and Pepper
1 Sheet / 320g Puff Pastry
1 Egg, beaten

1. Preheat your oven to 180*C and line two large baking trays with parchment. Finely dice the leftover Lamb until pea-sized and mix in the Salt, Pepper and Herbs, then set to one side. Also make sure any fatty pieces are evenly spread out in the mix.

2. Roll out your Puff Pastry to about 35cm X 24cm and cut into twelve squares, equal in size. Then run your knife diagonally across each square, from one corner to the other.

3. Spoon about 1tbsp / 10g of Lamb onto one half of each square and fold the other half over. Seal the edges with either your fingertips or the end of a small fork and repeat for the rest of the pastry.

4. Arrange the Pastries, six on each tray and evenly spaced out. Brush the tops with a small amount of beaten Egg and, optionally, top with Sesame Seeds.

5. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops of the Pastries have turned golden. Preferably serve hot, but can be eaten cold.

Note - If I wanted to take this more seriously I'd probably throw in some spices or diced vegetables like carrot, onion or peas into the Lamb mix, but I think that would go against the idea of this being a 'Leftovers' dish. I also had to keep my Mum in mind, who really isn't fond of spices and such.
